KANYE West has asked fashion icon Victoria Beckham to inspire fiancée Kim Kardashian as she designs her baby clothes range.

He wants Posh to help Kim, 32, avoid creating trashy clothes.

Our source said: “Kanye is very controlling and believes Kim needs an experienced mentor to help draw up some classy designs.

“He is hoping his status will help sway Victoria into dedicating some of her time and talent into helping Kim become a serious name in the fashion world.” But insiders said while Victoria, 39, is flattered by the offer, she is not sure she can spare the time to help kickstart Kim’s fashion dreams.

Our Beckham source told us: “Kanye hasn’t received an official yes or no from Victoria yet but I guess we’ll know for sure if we start seeing toddlers wearing pencil skirts.”

Since she began dating the rapper, 36, Kim has been dressing in designer clothes and is looking to set up her own high fashion baby line after giving birth to their daughter North three months ago.

Our insider added: “Kanye believes his genius will help put him and Kim on the path to be superstars, like David and Victoria.”
